Thanks Cattle Dog. Im actually stressing about this surgery but am anxious to get it over with. Let me know how your knee surgery goes. I am going to talk to the Dr more about the Eden Lange procedure also. Have you received anymore info on it?

The surgeon that operated on my knee does not feel there is a surgeon in Pittsburgh that has performed the Eden Lange procedure. He gave me the names of several surgeons who may have some experience in Chicago, Boston, NY and the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. I'm very apprehensive about having such a rare procedure done, but don't want to live the rest of my with pain and limited function of my arm. Once I'm moving again with my knee, I plan to begin contacting these surgeons. I'll let you know what I find and would be glad to give you the surgeon names. I'll also need to check with my health insurance regarding out of State coverage, that may make my decision. Best of luck with your surgery, I'll be thinking good thoughts for you. |

My surgery went good also but lots of pain in both the soft tissue and the bone. Should get better soon though. I did not get to see the my Ortho Dr while I was awake so was not able to ask more questions. I saw the resident but he was unable to answer any questions. Keep us posted on your progress. |

Hope your recovery is going well. I've decided to move forward with surgery. After conversation with my Orthopedic doctor here, I've narrowed it down to either Chicago or New York. I am traveling to Chicago mid-March for a consultation. I was amazed that the surgeon in New York personally called me. He indicated there were very few surgeons in the Country that perform the EL procedure (nothing we didn't know) and that he does 5-6 per year, which I thought was pretty impressive. My orthopedic doctor here is interested in possibly traveling to observe my surgery once I get scheduled. I'll keep you posted. |
